Maximum HUD

[Dancso]

Hey there folks!
... Maximum HUD!


Description

This is an old HUD I made waaay back for my entry to Cutmanmike's 2nd mutator contest. It was made 100% using original doom assets.

My mod would've been in reference to the suit the player wears in Crisis, granting various powers: regenerating armor, radiation shielding, berserk power, light amplification, partial invisibility.
It was horribly imbalanced and was all around poorly implemented, but I thought the HUD ended up okay (not particularly in Crisis' style, it's just something I slapped together using what resources I could), so I figured I shan't let it rot on my HDD.
Ironically, despite its namesake, the HUD has a sleek, clear style.. i guess my mod had to contribute something.


Download for Vanilla

Download for DoomRPG
(load it after DoomRPG or the bars will look weird)


Features

• The HUD contains two size-states, one that displays more information & a mugshot, and another one that shows only the bare necessities. The detailed one replaces the original status bar, while the simplistic one replaces the fullscreen hud.
• As you might see in the screenshots, there's no differentiation between screen aspect ratios. I personally like that the elements are positioned a bit closer to the center because of this, but please let me know if you'd like to see a widescreen version.

Notes & Crediting policies

---

Compatibility:

This HUD is made for ZDoom and its child ports
Designed for Doom only (it will technically work with other games, but they will have various issues)
It is unlikely to work in parallel with other HUD/Statusbar mods.
There are no assets in this package, all visuals are done with the original doom graphics via the TEXTURES lump, so keep in mind that if you load a file that modifies these graphics, it will change the HUD aswell, which might not be desirable.

I'd love to hear what you think! I might complete requests / address suggestions if my time allows it.

Pretty good, i was looking for something similar as this to my mod! Can i use this in my mod (with proper credits)?
Also, i don't know a bit about sbarinfo, but if my interest on it grows, do you mind about a edited version?

Thanks!

Feel free to use it and modify it as much as you want.

I have just cooked up a DoomRPG version of this HUD, the download link has been added to the first post.
I am particularly proud to present that the healthbar remains accurate while shields are active. (without a hack I added, it would appear full even at 1 HP) Sadly the mugshot will still appear completely healthy, though.

Yeah! Thanks man!
